Ouroboros Spine utinmun

Set for the night of the 29th!

After cresting the outer-rim of Ouroboros Spine, Ariadne sprinted towards Kukutux's den. Her heart ached for her children, and the anticipation of being with them again brought her great excitement. Racing through the woodland and the meadow, she bypassed the hills and looped around the lake before arriving at the well-trodden path that led to the pack's dwellings. Hurrying up the path, she barked while her tail wagged enthusiastically. 

Children! Your anaa is home! she called with tears in her eyes as she advanced up the incline, hoping to coax them from Kukutux's den.

they moved to greet ariadne, and kukutux hung back at the mouth of the ulaq with smiling mouth while mother spoke to children.

her own arms opened for this woman, her own daughter; she held ariadne to the cadence of her beating heart for a moment.

Once the children were greeted and doted on, she gathered them and led them back to the den, where she spotted Kukutux standing in the entryway. Smiling broadly, she went in for a hug, still with the lingering smell of the sea on her fur. 

Anaa, she breathed, moving back slightly. I have much to tell you—do you have time? she asked.

"tell me."

her verdant eyes shone with love. let ariadne fill her mind with words.

she would give where she might.
